Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal found that Pipetawse Limited (In Administration) had failed to comply with a requirement of section 188 or section 188A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It recorded that the complaint was well-founded.

The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay remuneration calculated in accordance with section 190 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to all employees dismissed as redundant on 6 April 2020 whose names appear on the schedule to the judgment. It set the protected period as 6 April 2020 to 5 July 2020.

The judgment also stated that the Employment Protection (Recruitment of Jobseekers Allowance and Income Support) Regulations 1996 applied. It noted that regulation 6 imposes a duty to provide information to the Secretary of State, and that regulations 7 and 8 govern postponement of the award and any recoupment notice.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
